Growing Up

When we were just little kids,
We always are given what we asked for
We scream, we cry, we roll over on the ground just to get people's attention
We got mad if they care about anything more than us
We don't know what losing means
We assume that what we want, we get
We were too naive to realize that this world is definitely not a wish granting factory.

Then we grow up,
We learn that live is not just black and white
Day by day we learn that our life is not actually ours,
A part of the growing up process is letting go
Letting go of your personal needs and wants for the sake of greater goods
Letting go of your rage and anger for the sake of dignity
Letting go of your little sound in the heart whispering to get things you wanted by any means necessary for the sake of integrity
Letting go of your dreams for the sake of being a good loving son.

Now that you are old enough to understand that this world does nothing but drain you out and there's nothing you can do,
You let go of everything
Until your bone marrow are sucked dry
Until your heart and emotions are squeezed out with no drop left
Until your brain thinks nothing but just move forward
Till the day comes that nothing may force our suffocated heart to beat anymore in the name of facing a brand new day.

Things Taken For Granted

"The things we take for granted are the things we long for the most when they're gone" After bringing up the idea to my instagram story, I learnt from friends' kind responses that most of us have that little things that we have been taking for granted in this life. Things that worth so much more than we realise but we kind of forget just because we got them by grace, we got them already, and we got them without sacrificing much of ourselves. Little do we know, these things we take for granted, they are not going to be there forever and always and that is exactly why I wish for us all to take a moment to embrace it all and give these things more credit that we gave them for these things deserves so much more than this. Life. How often is it we forget that each day when we are able to open up our eyes to the bright sunlight is a grace in itself. It doesn't matter how hard, how miserable, how boring, how lonely you might feel your days currently are, the very b...

We Are Who We Are

"We are who we are,” A line of one of my current ongoing tv series good doctor that suddenly become a jolt of inspiration to reflect, to write once again. We are who we are and indeed we are all different. One very introvert and need her own space, one never runs out of the so called social battery. One likes to cook and bake and paint, one, on the other hand, likes to do math and statistic and accounting. One is very practical and energy conscious, the other one very in the moment and living life to the fullest. These differences, it sometimes feel like the barrier of us getting along. It sometimes feel like with each differences, the further away we become from creating a long-lasting friendship filled with “unconditional” love. Sometimes too, these differences create a heavy burden of expectation. Expectation to be slightly less different, expectation to change who you are for the sake of being “belong” in a group of people, expectation to di...

Making a Difference (?)

Looking at the million stars above me, wondering how far they all are, how wide this universe is, there's only one way this brain can go, "how on earth is the little insignificant me is supposed to make a change in this world?". There were some points in my life when I dreamed to be inspiring. Inspiring enough to be heard by millions, inspiring enough for thousands of people to follow me on social media, and inspiring enough for hundreds of people to read my blog posts. The dream to inspire was based on the hope that my life could mean something, could bring a change, could make this world just a little bit better. But then there were moments like these. When I realised that no matter how "inspiring" or not I am, it's kind of making zero difference in this world. I mean who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy says Adam Levine's lost stars. How impactful should one be to change the world? Being a president? Being a miss universe? Being...
